Liven up your group chats with Zo!

Zo.ai is a social AI bot with #friendgoals. Introduce her to your friends in public and private groups on Kik!

Over the last year, the teams at Microsoft and Kik have been working on a new feature to bring Kik chatbots - starting with Zo.ai - to your public or private groups.

Created by Microsoft, Zo learns from human interactions to engage in culturally and socially relevant chat, and acquires her knowledge from Bing. By evolving Zo’s capability from one-to-one chats to Kik group chats, Microsoft is furthering its research into how AI technology can empower people to make social connections.

Zo works in groups!

You can invite Zo into your group to play games, hang out, and chat. Groups looking to kill time or to get to know each other can ask Zo to host games like TrivAI, Two Truths and a Lie, Guess the Glitch, and more.

Between games, Zo’s casual, snarky attitude makes for epic group convos – groups who’ve played with Zo drop compliments like “Zo’s savage” and “who knew AIs could be so funny.”

Count on Zo to back up your opinion on the greatest band ever, laugh at your jokes, or gush on that pic of your delicious lunch.

How to add Zo.ai to your group
